Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer were Oscar nominees earlier this year for director Michael Hoffman's portrait, based on Jay Parini's novel, of celebrated "War and Peace" novelist Leo Tolstoy and his wife in the last years of their marriage.

The stars are backed by a notable supporting cast that includes James McAvoy as a Tolstoy supporter and Paul Giamatti as a decidedly shady associate of the couple. DVD extras: audio commentary by Mirren, Plummer and Hoffman; deleted scenes; outtakes; "A Tribute to Christopher Plummer" featurette. *** (R: AS, N) (Also on Blu-ray)
